Meeting Description: 

We are pleased to announce the second installment of the conference
Descriptive Grammars and Typology: The challenges of writing grammars of
underdescribed and endangered languages, which will take place on December
1-3, 2021 in Paris (FIAP Paris). We are counting on an on-site event complying
to all sanitary restrictions that may apply (if needed, the hosting conditions
will be adapted). The conference will consist of one unique general session.
Talks will be 30-minute long plus 10 minutes for discussion.
Please check the conference website for all details:

The global endangerement of little-known languages has raised awareness of the
urgent need to document and describe them and brought about new advances in
the art of grammaticography (see e.g. Ameka, Dench & Evans 2006). The
conference series 'Descriptive Grammars and Typology’, whose first installment
took place in March 2019 in Helsinki
(https://www.helsinki.fi/en/conferences/descriptive-grammars-and-typology),
aims to contribute to the development of grammaticography by bringing together
authors and users of grammars of underdescribed and/or endangered languages
who share an interest in drawing on concepts of linguistic typology in
grammatical descriptions.

We are proud to have the following keynote speakers:
- Felix Ameka (Leiden University)
- Nicholas Evans (Australian National University)
- Birgit Hellwig (University of Cologne)
- Aimée Lahaussois (HTL, CNRS)
- Nicolas Quint (LLACAN, CNRS)
 

Program:

The program is now online at https://grammar2021.sciencesconf.org/program. 
Keynote speakers are Nicholas Evans, Felix Ameka, Aimée Lahaussois and Nicolas
Quint.
